Luke and Liam's first day of 8th grade and Aiden's first day of 6th grade
We had one last big adventure in Hawaii before the end of the summer. We all loved Hawaii and hope to go back as soon as possible! We stayed on the island of Oahu and really made an effort to see the entire island. We spent time snorkeling on the North Shore in Turtle Bay and one a snorkeling tour in Waimea Bay. We sampled the food trucks and many restaurants along the North Shore and in Waikiki. We had our fill of shaved ice, fresh fish, and poke bowls! We spent one day doing surfing lessons and touring beaches on the west side of the island. We hiked in a rainforest and up Diamond Head. And lastly, we spent a day touring Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona, Punchbowl cemetery, and downtown Honolulu. It was quite a memorable experience. Hawaii is a beautiful state and Oahu is amazing! The people were warm and welcoming, the beaches are beautiful and diverse in the different areas we visited, and the food was amazing.
Lastly, we started school slightly less than 48 hours after we returned home from Hawaii. Luke and Liam are in their final year of middle school in the 8th grade and Aiden just began his first year of middle school in 6th grade. Finn is our only child left in elementary and he began 2nd grade. The boys are adapting well to the beginning of school and have been happy to be back in person at school. We are gearing up for hockey tryouts which are coming up in the next month for the older boys! |
